Foreign currency

Question) A manufacturing entity buys a machine (an item of property, plant and equipment PPE) for 20 million dinars on 1 January 20X1. The machine is held under the Revaluation model and was attributed a useful economic life of 20 years. The entity has a reporting date of 31 December 20X1 and a functional currency of dollars($) Exchange rates are as follows: 1/1/20X1 : 2 Dinars - $1 31/12/20x1 : 3 Dinars -$1 The fair value of the machine at 31 December 20X1 was 32 million dinars. What is the carrying amount of the machine at 31 December 20X1 ? Hi sir, for the above question I have done up my workings. Can you correct me when i'm wrong ? Workings: Revaluation model - Therefore, revalue to 32million dinars (Fair value) at end of year Initial transaction: 2 dinars - $1 32million - $16 million Dr PPE $ 16 million Cr Payables $16 million Since PPE is a non-monetary item, it should be left at $16 million. In addition, since depreciation is given, we must account for it. Depreciation for 1 year = $16 million / 20 years = $0.8million Therefore, carrying amount at 31 December 20X1 = $16 million - $0.8million = $ 15.2 million Am I right sir ?

"Initial transaction: 2 dinars – $1 32million – $16 million Dr PPE $ 16 million Cr Payables $16 million" I believe that the initial transaction was buying the machine for 20 million dinars on 1 January 20X1 and that the double entry to record that acquisition should be: Dr TNCA (20 million dinars @ 2 dinars = $1) $10,000,000 Cr Cash / Payables $10,000,000 At the end of the first year there should be depreciation of $10,000,000 / 20 = $500,000 and a carrying value of $9,500,000 Then we revalue to 32 million dinars and that, at the rate of 3 dinars = $1, equates to $10,666,667 = a revaluation surplus of $1,166,667 I believe that's correct - but what does the solution suggest?

This question is not from my exam kit. The question in my exam kit was based on cost model. Therefore, i just wanted to understand how will it vary if the revaluation model is used. So the value of the machine in the Statement of Financial Position will be $10.67 million with a revaluation gain of $1.17 million right sir ?

I believe that's what I wrote, yes
